Gauges (cont'd)
- How the Gircuit Works
When the ignition switch is in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is supplied through fuse 25 to the
gauges in the gauge assembly.
Speedometer and Odometer
The odometer and soeedometer drive circuits
receive pulses from the vehicle speed sensor
(VSS). The pulse rate increases as the car
accelerates. The frequency and duration of these
input pulses are measured and displayed by the
speedometer, odometer and tripmeter.
Tachometer
The tachometer drive circuit receives pulses from
the ignition control module (lCM) in the distributor
assembly or the ECM/PCM. The solid-state
lachometer then displays these pulses as engine
speed. For each 200 pulses per minute from the
ignition control modul€ (lCM) or the ECM/PCM, the
tachometer displays 100 RPM.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge has two
intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. Voltage applied to the coils, through
fuse 25, generates a magnetic lield. The magnetic
field, controlled by the coolant temperature sending
unit, causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge
needle to move. As the resistance in the sending
unit varies, current through the gauge coils
changes. The gauge needle moves toward the coil
with the strongest magnetic field.
The 6ngine coolant temperature sending unit's
resistance varies from about 137 ohms at low
engine temperature to between 3H6 ohms at high
temperature (radiator fan running).
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
81-2
(
Fuel Gauge (All except cX)
The fuel gauge has two intersecting coils wound
around a permanent magnet rotor. Voltage applied
to the coils, through tuse 25, generates a magnetic
field. The magnetic field, controlled by the fuel
gauge sending unit, causes the rotor to rotate and
the gauge needle to move. As the resislance in the
sending unit varies, current through the gauge coils
changes. The gauge needle moves toward the coil
with the strongest magnetic field.
The fuel gauge sending unit's resistance varies
from about 2-5 ohms at full, to about 110 ohms at
empty. When you turn the ignition switch off, the
gauge remains at the last reading until you turn the
ignition switch to ON (ll) or START (lll) again,
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
Fuel Gauge (GX)
The fuel gauge has two intersecting coils wound
around a permanent magnet rotor. Voltage applied
to the coils, through fuse 25, generates a magnetic
field. The magnetic field, controlled by the PCM,
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to
move. The PCM calculates the gas quantity in the
fuel tank by using the fuel pressure value detected
by the tuel tank pressure sensor and the fuel
temperature value detected by the fuel tank
temperalure sensor, and outputs the signal to the
gauge assembly. The gauge needle moves toward
the coil with the strongest magnetic field.
When you turn the ignition switch off , the gauge
remains at the last reading until you turn the ignition
switch to ON (ll) or START (lll) again. When the
PCM detects a malfunction with the fuel pressure or
temperature, or detects a gas leak, the PCM
reduces the fuel meter to 0.
Refer to the Service Manual GX Supplement
(Section 11 , Fuel and Emissions) for specific tests
or troubleshooting procedures.

Power Door Locks (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
Keyless Entry System
The keyless door locks combine the power door
locks with a remote keyJob transmitter. The keyless
receiver unit is part of the radio. The keyless
receiver unit receives direct inputs f rom the ignition
key switch, the passenger door switches, and an
indirect input trom the driver's door switch through
the integrated control unit.
Power Door Locks (With or Wlthout Keyless)
The power door lock system is made up of the
oower door lock control unit. driver's door lock
switch, and individual door lock actuators. The
power door locks are controlled by the driver's door
lock switch and the driver's door lock actuator
switch.
Transmitter (With Keyless Entry)
The transmitter sends coded radio wave signals to
the keyless receiver unit when one ot its buttons is
pressed. Each transmitter has a unique code that
must be 'laught" to the keyless receiver unit before
it can operate the door locks or any other lunction.
Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed to operate
the keyless door locks.
Door Locking (With or without Keyless Entry)
When you push the driver's door lock switch to the
lock position, ground is applied to the GBN/IVHT
wire to the oower door lock control unit. The control
unit then applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED
wire and ground to the YEURED wire. The
passenger door lock actuators then activate to lock
the corresponding door locks.
When you lock the driver's door with the key or door
lock knob, it is mechanically locked, and the driver's
door lock actuator switch applies ground to the
oower door lock control unit. The control unit then
applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and
ground to the YEURED wire, activating the
passenger door lock actuators which lock the doors.
Dool Locking with Transmitter
When you press the LOCK button on the remote
transmitter, the power door lock control unit applies
battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and ground to
the YEURED wire. The passenger door lock
actuators then activate and lock the doors. A ground
slgnal is also applied to the BLU/RED wire to lock
the driver's door. lf any door is open, you cannot lock
it using the remote transmitter.
Door Unlocking (With or Without Keyless Entry)
When you push the driver's power door lock switch
to the unlock position, ground is applied to the
GRN/ORN wire to the power door lock control unit.
The control unit then applies battery voltage to the
YEURED and BLU/RED wires and ground to the
WHT/RED wire. The door lock actuators then
activate to unlock the doors.
When you unlock the driver's door with the key or
the door lock knob, it is mechanically unlocked; the
other doors do not unlock.
Door Unlocking (With Transmltter)
When you press the UNLOCK button on lhe remote
transmitter once. the power door lock control unit
applies battery voltage to the WHT/RED wire and
ground to the BLU/RED wire to unlock the driver's
door. When you press the UNLOCK button twice,
the control unit then applies ground to the YEURED
wires to activate the passenger door locks. lf you do
not open a door within 30 seconds after unlocking
the doors with the transmitter, the doors
automatically relock.

. 20 seconds atter closing all doors (C)UDX only)
Arming with the Transmitter
The security system can be armed by removing the
ignition key from the ignition switch, closing all
doors and the trunk, and pressing the LOCK button
on the transmitter. When you arm the system in this
way, the remote control LED comes on, the status
LED flashes once per second, the parking lights
flash once. the doors lock. and the horn sounds
once if the beeo sound mode is on.
Passive Arming (CX and Dx only)
When you turn the ignition to OFF, remove the
ignition key from the ignition switch, and close all
the doors and the trunk; the system will
automatically arm itself 20 seconds after the trunk
or last door is closed. When you arm the system
this way, the status LED tlashes 4 times per second
during the exit delay time, and once per second
after the system is armed; the parking lights will
flash once to confirm that the system is armed.
Triggering the Alarm
Atter you've armed the system, it will trigger the
alarm if any door or the trunldhatch is opened. lf the
battery is disconnected when the system is armed or
in the alarm mode, reconnecting it will immediately
trigger the alarm. When the alarm is triggered, the
following will occur for 30 seconds:
. the horn sounds
o the parking lights flash once per second
. the status LED flashes hvice oer second
. the starter is disabled
After 30 seconds, the alarm will stop and the
system will rearm. Pressing the transmitter
